Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Do the awliya (close friends of Allah) of the murdered person kill the murderer without bringing the matter to the authority?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This leads to chaos. It is obligatory to follow the Islamic ruling, and it is obligatory to follow the court's ruling, to be carried out by the one in authority. It is not a matter of chaos where everyone kills and says, "This is retaliation." Yes.
